Is the Earth Hollow?This intriguing question has attracted the attention of free
thinkers, scientists and a wide assortment of crackpots back through
the ages.

The most ancient of stories of modern mankind can be found written
on the clay tablets of Mesopotamia. Two, "Gilgamesh" (Table XII) and
"The Descent of Ishtar to the Underworld", are about adventures
among different kinds of creatures inside the earth. 1

Plato wrote of enormous subterranean tunnels both broad and narrow
that made up the earth’s interior.

Dr. Edmond Halley, of comet fame,
believed that all heavenly bodies were hollow and in a speech before
the members of the Royal Society of London stated,

"Beneath the
crust of the Earth, which is 500 feet thick, is a hollow void". Then
there was Leonard Euler (1707-1783), noted mathematician and one of
the founders of higher mathematics. He stated that, "mathematically
the Earth has to be hollow". He also believed there "was a center
sun inside the Earth’s interior, which provided daylight to a
splendid subterranean civilization." 2

Next came Captain John Cleves Symmes,
war hero of the War of 1812.

Once his studies led him to believe in
a Hollow Earth, he used his knowledge to convince James McBride, a
Miami Ohio millionaire. Mr. McBride used his political connections
to Rep. Richard M. Johnson (D) of Kentucky [later vice-president
under Van Buren 1837-18411] to petition congress to finance an
expedition to claim the lands inside the earth for the U.S. The
petition, by a vote of 56-46 was tabled. 3

The Hollow Earth was next theorized by William Reed in his 1906 book
"The Phantom of The Poles". Based on his studies of early Arctic
explorations and scientific evidence, he states that the Earth is
not solid as widely believed, but hollow with openings at both ends.

In the summary of his revolutionary theory, Reed states:

"The Earth is hollow. The Poles, so
long sought, are phantoms. There are openings at the northern
and southern extremities. In the interior are vast continents,
oceans, mountains and rivers. Vegetable and animal life are
evident in this New World and it is probably peopled by races
unknown to dwellers on the Earth’s surface". 4

Marshall B. Gardner reached the same conclusions after 20 years of
researched and published his finding in "A Journey to the Earth’s
Interior, or, Have the Poles Really Been Discovered" in 1913,
revised 1920.

He was unaware of Reed or his theory at the time.

Mr.
Gardner puts forth the argument that neither Cook nor Peary reached
the True North Pole since, according to the theory, it does not
exist. Mr. Gardner states:

"Scientific societies that considered Cook’s and Peary’s
claims concluded that in neither case could it be said
authoritatively that the explorer had reached the pole". 5

This controversy still exists today.

Science fiction writers have had a field day with the theory. Jules
Verne’s "Journey to the Center of the Earth, Edgar Rice Borrough’s
"Tarzan at the Earth’s Core" and scores of other authors have let
their talents run wild in the Inner World. Grade-B film makers know
a good theme when they find one also.

Then there are those people who claim to have visited the interior
of our planet. Olaf Janson’s "The Smoky God", is one such story that
comes to mind.

Ray Palmer was one of the first researchers and reporters on the UFO
scene during the 50s and 60s. In his ground breaking publications
"Flying Saucers" and Search Magazine he speculated that, because
UFOs have been seen in earth’s sky throughout history , they may
very well be from our earth, in fact, evidence seemed to indicate
that UFOs could very well come from a subterranean world inside our
earth.

Then on the cover of "Flying Saucers" magazine issue #69 - June 1970
and in issue #92 of "Search Magazine" published in July of 1970, the
late Mr. Palmer published a photo that is still a controversy.

Excerpts from his Editorial in the above mentioned "Flying Saucers"
magazine tell it best:

"On the cover this month we reproduce the most remarkable photo ever
made. It was taken by the ESSA-7 satellite on November 23, 1968 the
North Pole photo lacking clouds in the polar area, therefore
reveals the surface of the planet.

Although, surrounding the
polar area, and north of such areas as the North American
continent and Greenland and the Asian continent, we can see the
ice-fields 8-foot thick ice we do not see any ice fields in a
large circular area directly at the geographic pole.

Instead we
see THE HOLE!" 6

The ESSA-3 PhotographThe first photograph
referred to by McElwaine was taken by ESSA-3 on January 6,
1967:

The caption includes the words
"clearly showing the hole at the North Pole." If this is
indeed the case, then it is nothing short of remarkable, as
the North Pole is in complete darkness at this time of year!

There are other extremely suspicious things about this
photograph. Not just the "hole", but the entire visible
hemisphere of the Earth is in sunlight - clearly impossible
unless the pole is oriented directly toward the sun. This is
not, of course, the case. At no time during January 1967 was
the entire Northern Hemisphere simultaneously bathed in
sunlight.

Oh, and another thing. If the interior of the Earth is
illuminated by "a glowing ball of plasma, about 600 miles in
diameter", why don't we see a bright disk instead of a dark
hole?

Answer: it's a composite photo. ESSA-3 was a polar-orbiting
satellite, and this image is a clearly a montage produced by
NASA from a number of separate half-lit images to give a
measure of global cloud cover.

The ESSA-7 PhotographHere is McElwaine's
second photograph, taken by ESSA-7 on November 23, 1968:

The
photograph taken by the satellite Essa-7, with the "hole"
that has so alarmed the American public.
It is the "hole" that would lead to the center of the earth,
to cities and fabulous "bases" of UFOs!
In fact this "hole" comes from the limit of the photographic
coverage of the satellite,

which, since
its orbit does not see to the pole ...

Again, the same observations
about lighting apply to this photograph. January 6 is as
close to midwinter as makes no odds, and everything within
the Arctic Circle should be completely hidden from view.

It's a composite image again. Long, straight lines radiate
from the edge of the "hole" at around 7 o'clock and 9
o'clock, reaching the the Equator, and in the case of the 7
o'clock line, considerably further, indicating that this is
stuck together from several smaller images. The bright rim
is almost certainly and edge-of-frame artifact from the
camera rather than any physical effect.

If there were indeed holes at the poles, why do we not see
them in pictures taken from the ESSA satellites in July, for
example?

In 1981 I came into possession of another group of NASA photos
showing earth from deep in space which, not only substantiates the
ESSA-7 photos, but adds weight to another feature of the hollow
earth theory.

At this point any practical person will start to ask themselves, if
this is all true why isn’t it common and accepted knowledge. As Ray
Palmer said in one of his articles:

" A government that will not tell you what they know about UFOs
would certainly keep the origin of then a secret".

Then there are those researchers who say some of us spend entirely
too much time looking at the poles.

"Certain researchers swear the earth is shaped like a giant doughnut
and that holes at the poles provide an entrance into the inner
lands. "Not so!" shouts another group. "Entrance to the interior
world can be gained only by entering a cave and discovering the
subterranean tunnels.""

Most of the people who claim to have
visited the inner lands arrive there through old mine shafts, caves
and subterranean tunnels.

Others claim to have traveled through
extent volcanoes. There is good solid evidence supporting all these
theories. Evidence also supports the possibility of other hidden
entrances to the inner realms in The Bermuda Triangle and other
strange areas around the world. 7

One of these areas of interest in the Pacific Northwestern area of
the United States. It was in this area that the name "Flying
Saucers" was first heard.

"On June 24, 1947, Kenneth Arnold, a
businessman and commercial pilot from Boise, Idaho, was flying
past Mount Rainier, in Mount Rainier National Park, State of
Washington, when he sighted a strange formation of nine luminous
saucer-shaped objects. He related this unusual experience to
newsmen and news of the mysterious objects dubbed "flying
saucers" was spread nationwide". 8

UFOs are quite common in the area. In fact the thousands of miles of
untrodden land that makes up the extreme Northwestern part of
America hides many unexplained mysteries.

This is the land of
"Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch" as the local Native
Americans call him.

In connection with our research into different
possibilities we offer the following interesting story which was
reported in the January 1975 issue of "Saga" by B. Ann Slate:

"In April 1974, Psychic Joyce Partise of Southern California held a
sealed envelope in her hands. Unknown to her, that envelope
contained a photograph of a Sasquatch footprint {Ms Partise said]
"These things are coming from outer space - it’s an outer space war!
The first area will be Portland, Oregon. There’s a mountain with a
hole in it.

Someone should investigate this mountain because they’re
down in there already. You know those hairy things that run around,
the ape man? He’s not an ape. They’re underground, in contact with
outer space and their intentions toward mankind is total
destruction!.. this gorilla man - there’s a civilization of
thousands of them their eyes are extremely light sensitive from
being underground.

These tunnels I’m seeing is part of their
habitation. They’ve dug them. I think it may even go into
California" 9

Just south of the Oregon - California border the snow-capped peak of
mysterious Mt. Shasta keeps her secrets.

Locally there are whispers
of certain merchants quietly doing business, for gold, with strange
young looking men with piercing blue eyes wearing unusual clothing
and footwear, who mysteriously, upon completing their business fade
away into the wilderness. Are these mysterious consumers from the
legendary underground city of "Telos" said to exist under Mt.
Shasta?

Could they actually be descendants of the lost continent of
"Lemuria". Could the strange men seen in the small communities of
the area be on a "munchies run" for their underground friends?

Anytime I tell someone about the Hollow Earth Theory the inevitable
question is ‘how can I get there?

Hopefully this issue of THEI will
help to answer this question.

Of course, the first thought when seeking to enter the interior of
our planet is to plan a trip through one of the two pole-holes which
are alleged to be located at the north and south poles. I disagree
with this idea. First, for those who would try to go over the lip
into the interior by land the hardships would be unbearable. I lived
in Alaska for six years and I found, operating in the cold without
proper clothing etc. to be impossible. The amount of equipment and
cold weather gear needed to make such a trip would be staggering.

For this reason, most people who would try to gain entrance to the
inner lands feel that an airplane would be the answer. Those who
feel this is the best avenue of exploration should get in touch with
"The Society for a Complete Earth.". This group is currently
planning
a trip to re-create
Admiral Byrd’s alleged 1947 flight to the lands
beyond the pole. For more information you can contact the director
of the society, Danny Weiss, P.O. Box 890, Felton, CA 95018,
1(408)335-9329.

However, I believe that these much-talked-about pole-holes, if they
exist, have been hidden from view through the use of advanced
technology which would prevent us from detecting their hole. It
could be through the use of holograms, mind blocks, a space-time
curve, or methods not even imagined by our limited knowledge.

Of
course, I could be wrong. At any rate, the north and south pole are
probably the best protected areas of the world. Another "plane down"
is a realistic scenario for any "unauthorized " travel in these
controlled areas.

The best route to the interior of our earth is to be invited. Of
course there’s being invited and there’s BEING INVITED! There are
many documented cases of people being taken into areas of the
interior of our planet, unfortunately, most are taken against their
will. One such person was Kaye Kizziar who was abducted from her
home and taken to "magnificent caverns beneath Fish Creek" in
Arizona’s Superstition Mountains. (See accompanying newspaper
clipping in Volume III #5).

Another person who was kidnapped and taken by a "UFO" into the inner
world was Katharina Wilson. Her experiences are accepted as one of
the best documented abduction cases and can be read about in her
excellent book The Alien Jigsaw (1993).

In his "must read" book Alien Update (1995), British UFO Researcher
Extraordinaire Timothy Good reports on UFO phenomena from around the
world. On page 27, "They Took Me To Their Base" he tells of an
interview with Carlos Manuel Mencado in Puerto Rico.

Mr. Mencado was
abducted by the Aliens commonly called the little grays who escorted
him aboard a "flying saucer".

Then:

"The craft shot up, and I believed we would go far away, but
instead, it seemed to veer to the left and descended toward the
Sierra Benmeja. I was afraid we would crash, but a hole appeared in
a depression to the side of El Cayul mountain and the craft went all
the way down it through a tunnel and came out in a big place that
seemed to be like a long, large cavern".

Those of us who are patient can wait till we’re invited (hopefully
not abducted). However, I know there are those people out there who
can’t wait.

They are action people! For them, probably the best way to get to
the inner earth is through one of the thousands of natural cavern
entrances. With a lot of research and cave searching, plus a little
luck, you just might find a "backdoor" into the subterranean lands.

Probably the best written account of a trip through the subterranean
lands into the inner kingdom was reported in the 1895 book "Etidorpha".

Secret Societies, conspiracy, a strange alien guide, suppressed
earth sciences - it’s hard to believe that this book is a hundred
years old! Yet, is it fact or fiction?

A few years ago long time inner earth researcher Bruce Walton made
some startling discoveries. With his kind permission I am happy to
re-print his complete and important research report, "Is William
Morgan The Man" in this issue of THEI.

After making the decision to seek out an entrance to the inner
realms through one of the many cavern entrances it might be a good
idea to go to one of the commercial caves around the country to get
an idea what it will be like underground. These "open to the public"
caves can be found in almost any state including, believe it or not,
Florida. With a little research, and a weekend get-a-way, I’m sure
you can locate one near you. The newspaper clipping, "Caves Not Far
From Interstates", included with this issue should help you start
your search.

While many of these well known caves contain connecting passages to
the inner lands, unless you "know someone", it’s doubtful that you
could use them.

However, by studying and understanding the known caves, you just
might find the clue you need to find your own entrance. One man who
may well have found a entrance to the lands inside the earth was
Jack Mitchell, discoverer of Mitchell’s Caverns, now a California
State Park.

Mitchell’s Caverns is located 18 miles north of the small town of
Essex which is 28 miles west of Needles California and 111 miles
East of Barstow California on Route 66. The report, "The Cave Of The
Winding Stairs", was filed by Hollow Earth researcher Ollie Mork.

One of the best know areas where entrances to one of the inner
realms is unarguably located somewhere in the vicinity of Mt. Shasta
in northern California. Long know as the location of the
subterranean city of Telos, Mt. Shasta is the best bet for serious
searchers. Recently Michael Theroux director of Borderland Sciences
and writer Michael P. Elsey conducted an expedition to the famous
mountain in search of some answers.

Their findings were published in
Volume L1, Number 4 of BORDERLANDS which was issued during the
fourth quarter of 1995.

With Mr. Theroux’s permission I am proud to
reprint their report on the 1995 Mt. Shasta Expedition in Volume 3
#5 of The Hollow Earth Insider.

The Down Side

Of course if you do decide to venture along a long, lonely, dark
path leading to uncharted subterranean kingdoms it will not be a
stroll in the park.

There are many dangers underground. If one of your party should fall
and, say, break a leg, - there are no doctors handy. Many times just
moving forward will seem to be impossible. I highly recommend to
anyone planning such an adventure to make it a point to read
Subterranean Climbers (1951) by Pierre Chevalier. (Subterranean
Climbers is available from: Cave Books, 756 Harvard Av., St. Louis
MO 63130). Written from the famous mountain climber and
speleologist.

Pierre Chevalier’s on site journal. It tells of his
groups twelve years spent exploring the Trou du Glaz cave system in
France. Not only does this book walk you through many of the
problems these brave men met, but it also tells you what equipment
you’ll need for all kinds of situations. These gentlemen invented
many of the caving solutions and special equipment used by
professional cavers worldwide.

There is one major problem that you will have right from the start...

Unknown by most people as of November 18, 1988 both the Senate and
House of Representatives passed Public Law 100-691 commonly referred
to as the "Federal Cave Resources Protection Act of 1988".

According
to a copy of this law supplied by Hollow Earth researcher Tal LeVesque , the government has decided that caves located on "Federal
Lands" are a natural resource and must be protected from you and I,
America’s citizens.

The laws defines a cave as,

"any naturally occurring void, cavity,
recess, or system of interconnecting passages which occurs beneath
the surface of the earth or within a cliff or ledge (including any vug, mine, tunnel, aqueduct, or other manmade excavation) and which
is large enough to permit an individual to enter, whether or not the
entrance is naturally formed or manmade. Such term shall include any
natural pit, sinkhole, or other feature which is an extension of the
entrance".

"Information concerning the specific location of any significant
cave may not be made available to the public under section 552 of
title, United States Code"

The law states further:

"Any person who, without prior authorization
from the Secretary knowingly destroys, disturbs, defaces, mars,
alters, removes or harms any significant cave or alters the free
movement of any animal or plant life into or out of cave(s) located
on Federal Land shall be punished".

The use of the word "disturbs" disturbs me. Is leaving foot prints a
disturbance? What about yanking one of those slimy reptilians out of
their lair? Does that constitute "altering the free movement of any
animal" or do reptiles count?

Which brings us to the most important danger of all. Be aware that
all creatures which inhabit the inner lands are not neighborly
towards humans.
Enter the subterranean realms at your own risk. And please do it
cautiously.

I also strongly suggest that before making any serious
attempts at locating and entering a passageway into the subterranean
depths you read the conclusion of John Rhodes report "The
Human-Reptilian Connection".

The Hollow Earth Insider Research Report was not started for the
purpose of presenting the evidence thereby proving the theory.

The
major problem with trying to understand the Hollow Earth Theory is
the material available up until now has been rehashed and watered
down. It seems that every twenty years or so a new "Hollow Earth
Researcher", using the works of Ray Palmer and Raymond Bernard of
the 50s and 60s, tries to "prove" that the earth is hollow. This is
the 90s!

If this is a real possibility then a close look at our
knowledge of today should at least bring forth new evidence; either
in support of the theory or in positive proof that the whole idea is
ridiculous.

To start with, if you are really interested in examining the theory
you should start with the following books.

Gardner’s book concentrates on the scientific evidence more than the
arctic explorers observations, and I recommend that you read it
first. However, Reed’s book is just as important as it covers the
all important arctic/Antarctic aspects of the theory beautifully. I
cannot stress the importance of reading these books if you really
want to understand the full significance of the Hollow Earth Theory.

The Hollow Earth Insider Research Report’s purpose is to take the
study of the theory into the twenty-first century and to keep the
questions alive until they are answered one way or the other.

As an
inter-action Research Report THEI has grown into a worldwide network
of serious researchers and subscribers. We exchange information on
all phases of our investigation searching for clues possibly
connecting all "earthly" mysteries to the theory; examine who is
behind the conspiracy; and explore the reasons these true facts are
being hidden from the peoples of the world.

Hollow Moon?
...or From Where The Bells Toll
Another piece of evidence pointing towards the theory that all
heavenly bodies are hollow is that, as you would expect with a
hollow sphere, both the Earth and our moon are known to "ring like a
bell" when hit with a shock wave.

In "Moongate: Suppressed findings of The US Space Program" (1982),
Nuclear Engineer and researcher/writer William L. Brian II presents
evidence proving that the moon, as any hollow sphere would, "rings"
when hit by asteroids or heavy space junk. And that’s not all.
According to Dr. Brian,

"the evidence provided by Apollo seismic
experiments also points to the conclusion that the moon is hollow
and relatively rigid." (1)

He also reports:

"It is not commonly known that the Earth displays the same bell-like
ringing or reverberations as the moon. Since the Earth is 81.56
times more massive than the moon, it takes a much larger explosion
or shock wave to generate this effect."

Joseph Goodavage referenced such occurrences in his book,
"Astrology: The Space Age Science". He mentioned that the ringing
effect was recorded during the May 22, 1960 Chilean earthquake.

This
was supposedly the most violent earthquake that had been recorded
since the establishment of official world records in 1881. Goodavage
provided a description of the effect which was given at the 1961
World Earthquake Conference, held at Helsinki, Finland.

The description stated that the shock was so severe that the "entire
planet rang like a bell". The ringing continued for a considerable
length of time in a regular series of slow impulses which were
recorded at various independent seismic stations. Goodavage also
noted that the planet rang again as a result of the Anchorage,
Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964.

It seems hard to believe that
scientists were so appalled in finding that the moon rang like a
bell. After all, the Earth displays the same characteristic". (2)

Proof that the "ringing" of the moon is common knowledge in the
scientific and NASA communities is presented in communications
between Mission Control and the men aboard the Apollo 17 moon
mission on December 29, 1972.

"LUNAR MODULE PILOT (LMP): Was there any indication on the
seismometers on the impact about the time I saw a light flash on the
surface?

CAPCOM: Stand by. We’ll check on that.
LMP: A UFO perhaps, don’t worry about it. It could have been one of
the other flashes of light CAPCOM: Jack, just some words from the back room for you. There may
have been an impact at the time you called, but . So it would mask
any other impact." (3)

"The moon has only 60% of the density of Earth. The improbable fact
that an equal amount of earth material seemed to weigh almost twice
as much as moon matter mystified everyone. Why the difference? The
actual answer, some scientists felt, pointed to the possibility that
part or all of the moon’s interior was hollow!" (4)

Then there’s a report in the July 1962 issue of Astronautics by Dr.
Gordon McDonald, a leading scientist at the Nation Aeronautics and
Space Administration in which he states that,

"according to an
analysis of the moon’s motion, it appears that the moon is hollow:
if the astronomical data are reduced, it is found that the data
require that the interior of the moon is less dense than the outer
parts. Indeed, it would seem that the moon is more like a hollow
than a homogeneous sphere.’" (5)

"After carefully weighing up the
evidence he concludes that they are both hollow" (6)

While some "orthodox" scientists will quietly admit that some
earthly bodies are probably hollow, they steadfastly refuse to
accept the fact that ALL planets and moons are NATURALLY hollow and
hurry to add they must be "artificial" satellites.

For instance:

"The moon seems to be a comparatively light world in contrast with
the planet Earth. The fact that the moon is only about 60% as dense
as our planet has led scientists to two theories: that the moon is
without an iron core, and/or, that it is partially hollow.

"Data and computations – among them, Dr. McDonald’s motion studies,
– point to the conclusion that our moon is internally hollow to a
great extent. Since most scientists claim there is no natural
explanation for such peculiar phenomenon (because satellite
worlds are not naturally hollow), the inevitable conclusion
indicates that the moon is artificially hollow." (7)

Once again, the "establishment" scientists are trying to "fit" the
facts to their "sacred cow" theory. In no way will they "buck" the
system and admit the obvious.

The facts, once again, support the
theory laid out by Gardner and Reed all heavenly bodies are hollow.

A Look at
The Polar "Mystery"If our world is solid as we are told common since tells us that the
"magnetic" Poles would be where they belong – at the same spot as
the "geographical" poles.

However, as we know that is not the case.

"The Magnetic Poles are not fixed spots, but are constantly
traveling onwards, executing an unknown path and apparently
completing a circle in a period of many hundreds of years. In
addition to this onward movement of a few miles a year, there is a
lesser daily oscillation". (1)

What do Gardner and Reed, the presenters of The Hollow Earth Theory
have to say on this subject?

"In gravitational pull it is not the geometrical position that
counts. Center, in the geometrical sense of the word, does not
apply. It is the mass that attracts. And if the great mass of
the earth is in its thick shell, it is the mass of that shell
that will attract, and not a mere geometrical point which is not
in the shell but 2900 miles away from it, as that is the
approximate distance between the center sun and the inner
surface of the earth.

As a matter of fact it is the equal
distribution of the force of gravity all through the shell. When
we are on the outside of the shell it is the mass of the shell
that attracts us to the surface. When we go over to the inside
of the shell the same force will still keep our feet solidly
planted on the inner side". (2)

So, according to Gardner, it’s not some action deep within our Earth
which causes gravity and the Earth’s magnetism but the rotation of
the mass which makes up the crust.

To understand where a "magnetic"
pole would be if the world were made-up as envisioned by the two
fathers of the Hollow Earth Theory we turn to William Reed:

" if the center of the walls of the earth is the center of gravity,
then the greatest attraction would be at the poles.[the place where
the magnetic pull would be the strongest] "must have been about
halfway around the curve, entering the introit of the earth and, if
so, was in perfect accordance with the laws of the universe that the
center of gravity is strongest at this point". (3)

Gardner agrees with Reed. The magnetic poles would actually form a
circle around the pole-hole. Not a "moving" pole as in the accepted
theory, but a permanent "ring" around the alleged entrance into the
inner lands.

One Pole-Two Poles-Three Poles-More?On July 19, 1947 a group of scientists left Ottawa Canada aboard a
plane with the mission of finding the exact position of the North
Magnetic Pole.

Included in the tons of equipment they loaded aboard was "a new
instrument that is expected to be helpful in taking magnetic
soundings and establishing the northern magnetic field" (4)

The North Magnetic Pole seems to have moved
200 miles north since the year 1909 according to the first findings
of four scientists of the Canadian Department of Mines and
Resources, who left here by air July 19 in quest of the poles
present position." (5)

This seems to fit the accepted theory OK. No surprises here.

But
then the United States Air Force tried to slide one by us. on
Monday, October 20, 1947 the following front page story was carried
by The New York Times:

Washington, Oct. 19, 1947 – ". The Air Force disclosed that it had
discovered two new magnetic poles, in addition to correcting the
position of the one recognized by science the three poles constitute
an elliptical magnetic field" (6)

Upon finding this article in the Jacksonville Florida Public Library
microfilm files I had to rush to a dictionary.

Just as I suspected,
Webster’s Seventh defined elliptical as being a "deviation of an
ellipse or a spheroid from the form of a circle or a sphere. Ellipse
is defined as "an oval". Of course, this is never talked about.

As
could be expected the article goes on to state,

"the exact location in
latitude and longitude of these important discoveries in terrestrial
magnetism were withheld for security reasons, a spokesman said"

Under the rug!

However a little bit more of what was found out did slip through the
net. In a scientific editorial in The New York Times published on
October 21, 1947 we learn:

Magnetic Trinity

" This military study of the polar regions has unexpectedly supplied
us with new information on terrestrial magnetism. Observers of the
Royal Air Force found that the North Magnetic Poles lies 300 miles
north-northwest of its charted position.

These findings have not
only been confirmed by American Army pilots but have been
supplemented with the information there are three magnetic poles in
the area 450 miles long by nearly 200 miles wide." (7)

The Poles Explained
Is it just a coincidence that these documented findings fits exactly
the description of what the founders of the Hollow Earth Theory said
would be found? As with most of the earthly mysteries, the
"mysteries" of the poles are easily understood when looked at using
the concept of a hollow globe.

The poles do not from spot to spot and there are not three separate
poles. This is a classic example of the results of the establishment
scientists trying to "fit" the know facts to their "sacred cow" of a
theory.

The actual explanation is simple. As different explorers
start over the edge of the lip into the interior lands they think
they have "discover" that the pole has moved or that they have
"found" a new magnetic pole. It’s also possible that they
are taking readings from different areas of the circle which
surrounds the pole-hole exactly where Reed and Gardner said the
magnetic field is located.

In the words of the author of the Oct.21,
1947 New York Times scientific editorial quoted above:

"We begin to understand why
explorers have reported that the Magnetic North Pole is elusive
and that it shifts its position. But is it shifting? If the
three magnetic poles remain fixed, if other poles are found,
which is not improbable, we shall have to think of an
ellipse-shaped magnetic region. (8)

Another scientific fact which supports the Hollow Earth Theory, yet
totally ignored by the "experts".

Erich von Daniken in his 1973 photo-journal In Search of Ancient
Gods included two color photos of the inside of two subterranean
corridor on pages 79-80 along with this observation:

"Did
extra-terrestrial beings give our early ancestors sophisticated
tools? When you walk through the caves in Ecuador and other South
American countries, you can’t help asking the question.

The caves
were certainly not the work of nature, which does not produce
right-angled curves, polished surface areas, extremely accurate
grooves and straight corridors. These gigantic caves on this and the
following page must have been cut out of the solid rock by tools
that are quite unknown to us."

Across the Yucatan Peninsula, throughout Belize and Guatemala; as
far south as Northern Honduras, and as far north as the Chiapas of
Mexico.

This was the land sf the Olmec and Maya. Here, just as in
South America, we find mysterious abandoned stone cities and stories
of strange underground chambers and tunnels.

Fifty miles north of Mexico City in the province of Hidalgo is the
town of Tula. Writing in Lost Cities of North and Central America
(1992) David Hatcher Childress tells of the French
explorer-historian Claude Joseph Desire Charney who, with the help
of the locals, cleared the jungle away from some overgrown mounds
near the town.

Mr Childress wrote:

"Charney soon came across huge basalt blocks
more than seven feet long that appeared to him to be giant feet of
statues. Indeed, they were, the incredible Atlanteans, as they are
known today, huge figures designed as columns to hold up a gigantic
temple. ( page 254)

He then tells of his own observations:

"Peter and I walked around
the site, and were most impressed by the gigantic Atlantean figures
that had been erected on top of one of the pyramids. They were
indeed huge, more than 30 feet high in four sections with stone
plugs neatly fitting into corresponding contacts. Each holds a
strange weapon on his side.

Zecharia Sitchin in
The Lost Realms claims that these devices are plasma guns, used for melting rock in
the mining operations that were the main reason for the construction
of many of the early cities in North and South America."

A closer look at The Lost Realms is called for.

On page 105 Mr
Sitchin tells us:

"Experts in earthworks, masters of stonework,
diggers of trenches, channelers of water, users of mirrors-- what,
thus endowed, were the Olmecs doing in Mesoamerica?

Stelae show them
emerging from "Alters that represent entrances into the depths of
the earth (fig 58), or inside caves holding a puzzling array of
tools, as on the stela from La Venta (top illustration) in which it
is possible to discern the enigmatic mirrors being attached to the
tool holders helmets.

All in all, the capabilities, the scenes, the tools appear to us to
lead to one conclusion; the Olmecs were miners, come to the new
world to extract some precious metals-- probably gold, perhaps other
rare minerals too."

(While I agree with Mr. Sitchin, the Olmecs were probably miners, I
also believe that they had something to do with the worldwide system
of tunnels. There was more to this than just mining. - DGC)

Mr Sitchin continues;

"The legends of Votan, which speak of
tunneling through mountains, support this conclusion. So does the
fact that among the Olden Gods whose worship was adopted from the
Olmecs by the Nahautl people were the god Tepeyolloti, meaning, 'Heart of the Mountain.'

He was a bearded God of caves; his temple
had to be made of stone, preferably built inside a mountain. His
glyph-symbol was a pierced mountain; he was depicted holding as his
tool a flamethrower - just as we had seen at Tula! "

Our suggestion
that the flame thrower seen there (both held by
the Atlanteans and depicted on a column) was probably used to cut
through stone, not just carving on stone, is manifestly supported by
a stone relief known as Daiza No. 40 after the site in Mexico’s
Oaxaca Valley where it was discovered.

It clearly depicts a person
inside a confined area, using the flame thrower against a wall in
front of him.

The travels of Votan sometimes called Pacal Yotan or just
Lord Pacal
by the Maya was covered in Irene Nicholson’s book Mexican and
Central American Mythology (1967).

Ms. Nicholson tells us:

From
some unknown origin he was ordered by the gods to go to America to
found a culture. So he departed from his home, called Valum Chivim
and unidentified, and by the way of the ’dwelling of the thirteen
snakes’ he arrived at Valum Votan. (Snakes are known to live in the
underworld. -DGC)

The story continues:

"From there he travelled up the Usumacinta
river and founded Palenque. Afterward he made several visits to his
native home, on one of which he came upon a tower which was
originally planned to reach the heavens but which was destroyed
because of a ’confusion of tongues’ among its architects. Votan was,
however allowed to use a subterranean passage in order to reach ’the
rock of heaven’."

The December 1975 issue of National Geographic’s cover story "The
Maya, Children of Time" by Howard LaFay tells of his visit to the
ruins of Palenque in Mexico’s state of Chipas.

He explains how,

"in
1949, Dr. Alberto Ruz Lhuiler - then in charge of the excavations at
Palenque" discovered the "most elaborate pyramid tomb in the New
World."

He then tells us of his trip into Pacal’s tomb.

"... I descended the
stairway found by Ruz. The limestone passage glistened moistly. You
go down, steeply and deeply, through a series of brilliantly
engineered corbeled vaults. The awesome passage drops away before
you like the nave of a cathedral plunging into the depths.

"What
impresses you when you enter the tomb of mighty Pacal? The silence.
The void that comes with time, too dies. For 1,300 years Pacal had
reposed here in absolute silence, in total darkness."

"The sarcophagus lid has attracted a
great deal of attention because of its fascinating detail of a
rather odd scene. A man apparently Lord Pacal, is in a seated
position, and has an intricate, decorated scene around him."

"Erich von Daniken popularized the
nation in the late 1960s that this sarcophagus lid showed the
portrait of an ancient astronaut taking off or landing in his
spaceship, a stylized rocket. Von Daniken is worth quoting,

"Although the tombstone forms a
frame in the middle of which a being is sitting and leaning
forwards (like an astronaut in his command module.) This
strange being wears a helmet from which twin tubes run
backwards. In front of his nose is an oxygen apparatus. The
figure is manipulating some kind of controls with both
hands.

The fingers of the upper hand are arranged as if the
being was making a delicate adjustment to a knob in front of
him. We can see four fingers of the lower hand which has its
back to us. The little finger is crooked. Doesn’t it look as
if the being was working a control such as the hand-throttle
of a motorbike?

The heel of the left foot rests on a pedal
with several steps."

(pages 197-l98)

However, for reasons that make a lot of
sense, Childress explains in his well researched book, Von Daniken’s
explanation is highly unlikely. He then goes on to say:

"A more
credible, and in fact, as interesting an explanation for the
sarcophagus lid of Lord Pacal is that the engraved relief represents
a division of the universe in three layers; the Upper World, the
Middle World, and the Underworld."

( page 199)

Howard LaFay in the December Issue of National Geographic’s, "The
Maya, Children of Time" gave another interpretation:

"Frozen in a
perpetual fall, Pacal, the great ruler of Palenque, drops at the
instant of death into the jaws sf an underworld monster, just as the
sun sinks each day in the west. This interpretation holds that,
again, like the sun, he will ascend into the heavens, thus
fulfilling a cosmic cycle."

(page 760)

What do Maya legends say about the relief? It is a vessel returning
Lord Pacal (Pacal Votan to the underworld.) I believe the Maya, the
descendents of Lord Pacal, told us in their legends exactly what the
scene represents.

Once again our research proves that the real answer backs up our
theory.

I submit that Lord Pacal is shown sitting in a tunnel car used to
travel the 800 miles of subterranean passages (the ’dwelling of the
thirteen snakes’) to the land of the underworld and his home, Valum
Chivim.
